    You can't compare Dubois/Gorman to Usyk/Hrgovic, DD and Gorman are both prospects on a similar level and career path. Usyk/Hrgovic is more like Yoka or Joyce fighting Gassiev or Briedis and I don't see nobody calling for such a fight, why because it does **** all for either of them.

    If Usyk was a heavyweight prospect with a handful of fights or if Hrgovic was a more established contender it would make sense but not now. You can't ignore the realities of the business side of the sport and just throw random fights together and expect them to happen.

    You talk about the fans but honestly who the hell wants this fight now? Only you apparently, I'd rather have it later on when it's a bigger fight and matters more instead of a fight that just becomes a forgettable footnote in one fighters career.

    For Frank Warren to put that fight on he must believe heavily in one and not the other or they wouldn't be fighting

    Hrgovic would win now. The fight makes better sense later. Both should be in line for a title fight soon. It won't come vs Wilder though.

    Makes zero sense.

    Usyk is already in line bc hes the mandatory when he challenges Joshua. He doesn't have to fight anyone to get a Joshua fight, but why would he fight someone with no style resembling AJ like Hrgovic who can spoil things ?

    What makes you think AJ would fight anyone with limited fights to ? He cant sell a Hrgovic fight without Hrgovic defeating a top guy.

    Usyk has wins over guys like Joyce ,Hunter but hes years undefeated as a pro , Hrgovic is not, the fight wouldn't take off its not even logical right now Usyk is a champion coming in to another weight class ,Hearn is building guys up for Joshua not to cancel out fights for AJ.

    Hrgovic was signed for a reason and that was a future AJ match up.
